Skills Builder Programme

Skills Builder and Careers Education

We promote a growth mindset culture and encourage pupils to embrace challenges, learn from mistakes, and persist in the face of difficulties through targeted activities and staff modelling. We follow the Skills Builder framework which further emphasises both resilience and positivity.   Our Skills Builder partnership focuses on developing 8 essential skills that are crucial for personal and professional success. By prioritising life skills, we aim to prepare students for the challenges they will face in their future endeavours.  As part of our skills builder partnership we also take part in a career insight event. 

Our extra-curricular clubs provide children with valuable opportunities to develop the eight essential Skills Builder skills in fun, practical and meaningful ways. Clubs such as Board Games and Movie Club help children to develop listening, speaking and problem solving skills as they learn to communicate, follow rules and work collaboratively with others. Calm Club and Mindfulness support children in staying positive by encouraging resilience, self-regulation and emotional wellbeing.

Physical activities including Get Active, Skipping, Little Dribblers Football Skills help children to build teamwork, leadership and aiming high as they work together, practise perseverance and challenge themselves to improve. Singing Club/Choir encourages confidence in speaking and creativity through performance and expression, while Craft Club develops creativity, problem solving and independence as children explore new ideas and techniques.
